Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - South Burlington, VT.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in South Burlington who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
